Elon Musk blamed AI companies for new “temporary” limitations on Twitter access. Verified accounts can read up to 6,000 posts per day, while unverified users are limited to seeing 600 posts per day.

I feel like the limits were chosen to force twitter addicts to upgrade to blue.

6,000/day isn't that much since I heard it counts all replies, too.

I think this might also be related to their Google Cloud bills and inability to move off that platform fast enough. Now they don't want to have to pay for the usage.
